Post a photo a day!
Had a crazy top water evening on a Whopper Plopper, best fish was a 24-1/2" Wiper and ended up catching around 20 fish that evening. Most of them were in the 20-23" size fish.

Waxing Cork Handles
I've been using U40 for years and it is a good product at a low cost. It is simple to apply and it works. Just make sure you don't accidentally leave the bottle in your cold/frozen garage in the winter. Don't ask how I know...

What's your favorite reel?
This is one of my favorite Daiwa reels I own, Daiwa Tatula CT100HS CS. It is a import Tatula version and it just bombs a frog out there like no other. I wish I would of purchase half a dozen of them.

Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
I know someone mentioned of these shirts if you purchased your reel out of country that they wouldn't be accepted, I received my Daiwa/Simms shirts yesterday. Both of my reels were purchased overseas.

Thoughts on Line Conditioners?
I tried Real Magic once it made the line coil terribly, stick with KVD.

bill dance bait caster
I don't understand what you are asking? But I would not recommend a cheap combo of any kind to anybody that wants to enjoy fishing.

swimjig/jig hookup ratio?
I rarely miss a bite on a swim jig, I normally use a 3/8 oz swim jig along with whatever trailer I'm using. I spread the weed guards wider, I feel it helps on the hookup. I'm using a Medium Heavy rod with 15lb copolymer.

Show off your Stuff
Received my new Virtus Jewel Blue Diamond rod yesterday (Bladed Jig model). I have a Daiwa Tatula 80 installed on there.

Wacky Rigs
I usually use Trokar Weedless size 1 for most of my wacky rigs. I normally use the Bass Pro Stik-O worms since they have the closest weight/salt/fall rate as a Senko and you can get them cheaper. Then a normal wacky tool with 2 o-rings crossed/x pattern.

Anyone know where to get shirts something like these?
I just buy my long sleeves on ebay, they are only $10-11 a piece. They are very lightweight and keep you as cool as you can be in the hot summer. They are thinner/lighter than some of the other brands and they've held up well over a few seasons.

What do you do with a rod that just ain’t comfortable
Just sell it and get a decent amount of your money back and try something else. The one nice thing with TW is the simple return if you don't like it and try something else.

Are my Rapala crankbaits ok?
If you don't break one every now and then you aren't fishing in the right spots. ?

Braid for crankbaits?
I've been using mono for cranking along with a MH/Moderate Fast action rod. It works fine for me, I feel that mono will give a little stretch so the hooks don't rip out. I've just never have tried the idea.

Chatterbaits
Just about any soft plastic trailer, grub, craw, worm etc that you can put on a hook will work, different actions for all different baits. Last year a simple twin tail grub on a swim jig & bladed jig were killer for me last season.

Falcon Expert Amistad for frogging
I don't own the Amistad but I used the Froggin/Pitchin model which specs are basically the same besides rod length. Very solid stick for sure, Falcon has great rods and amazing warranty.
